The verdict

Nineteenth, level on 28 with four others and behind them all, because it doesn't say breakfast is included. The Clarendon has been a hotel since 1870, with 144 rooms and suites and Les Mordus for dinner, on rue Sainte-Anne.

Valet is C$37 plus taxes a night with unlimited in and out, and you can collect the car until 6 PM on departure day.

It gives no distance to the terminal, no breakfast terms and no check-in times.

Call ahead about breakfast, and take a cab down to the Old Port with the bags.

Book it if

  • A historic room inside the walls
  • Anyone who wants dinner in the hotel

Which terminal

Two terminals, both in the Old Port

Québec City has two cruise terminals, both in the Old Port, per the Port of Québec: Terminal 84, the Ross-Gaudreault terminal at 84 rue Dalhousie, and Terminal 30 at 300 rue de l’Estuaire. The Port’s own schedules sometimes disagree on which wharf a ship uses, so your cruise documents settle it.
